Improve Retroactive Processing

The goal of the Improve Retroactive (Retro) Processing project is to create visibility for the paycycle processing schedule by optimizing delivered functionality and minimizing manual intervention. 

Why are we implementing this project?

Currently, the inconsistent processing of retros and visibility to the locations affect the accuracy and timeliness of retro payments. This leads to an adverse impact to the employee, such as overpayments or underpayments, and dropped benefits.

The goal of the Improve Retro Processing project is to:

  • Provide locations more time, additional details to review and address discrepancies
  • Provide locations visibility to scenarios where additional action is required
  • More consistent processing of retros, improve pay and benefit accuracy
  • Automate retro processing for UCPath to process retro requests with minimal manual intervention and reduced processing time
    •  

What is the project timeline?

The Improve Retro Processing project kicked off on March 2023. This project is on hold until further notice.

    • Missed Pay
    • Overpayments
    • MCOP transactions 
  • Provide additional reports to locations for canceled triggers
  • Evaluate Non-Pay Impacting Triggers
    • FTE  
    • JED / Redistributions (zero retro due)
  • Optimize the process to reduce manual adjustments for pay frequency changes
  • Improve Retro Report (adding new fields)
  • Review and update process documentation and training
Desired Future Functionality
